I fixed the links on the SOA page recently, but had to delete a few of them as the sites they referred to no longer seem to exist anywhere on the known Internet. If anyone has any links they feel would be a useful addition to the site, please send them.
Alice Moon Fanelli now has her own consulting practice, and I have added her contact information to the Getting Help page.
I added a second banner. The script that rotates the banners doesn’t seem to play nice with some browsers, so I set it to manually change. Hit the refresh button on your browser to see the banners change.
I also added a donation button provided by this site’s hosting company for anyone wishing to contribute towards hosting costs for btneuro.org. The donations can be made via PayPal and go straight to the hosting company, Dreamhost to be applied towards the site’s fees.
Last but certainly not least, for anyone who isn’t on the Yahoo group and didn’t get the announcement, there are some preliminary results on the Tufts study – at least the behavioral part of it – that were published in the April issue of the JAVMA. The genetic part of the research is ongoing.
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help? I have problems with my 3 year old male Bull Terrier. Ranging from possible SOA (would wake attacking our gentle female BT from a very young age), goes into a ‘walking crouched frozen trance’, has lunged & bruised several guests (including young children) and my (now – even when he was 11) 14 year old son, growls/gurgles/snarls/rumbles constantly at 14 year old son (he cannot touch, talk or come in the same room as our BT – who is crate trained). I am making a vet’s appointment as this just gets worse and is so unpredictable/a ticking time bomb. I have has a Dog Behaviourist to assess but she was more concerned about our female BT (who was – to me as owned one before until her death who was a beautiful example of the true BT – typical BT. Though, for her sake & our male BT, I rehomed her as couldnt risk her being attacked around the male even with separate crates, feeding, constant monitoring and she deserved more and I could never rehome our male BT because I feel he is ‘not right/unpredictable’). Behaviourist said it is not a dominance thing – which I knew – saying the a rabbit could be his pack leader. He is if anything nervous aggression. Be grateful of any help/guidance.
